TL;DR: In this article, wave power atlas is generated for the Aegean Sea for years from 1999 to 2013 using a third-generation spectral wave model MIKE 21 SW, which was then interpolated to 10-min interval data.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of wind and wave co-located farms with the aim of assessing their benefits relative to standalone wind farms is presented, and it is found that the energy yield per unit area with the combined wave-wind farm increases by 3.4% relative to a standalone wind farm, the downtime periods decrease by 58% and the power output variability reduces by 12.5%.

TL;DR: Alongshore gradients in wave energy and propagation direction were observed near a pier that extends 500 m from the Duck, N.C., shoreline to about 6m water depth as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Alongshore gradients in wave energy and propagation direction were observed near a pier that extends 500 m from the Duck, N.C., shoreline to about 6-m water depth. When incident waves approached the beach obliquely, wave energy observed near the shoreline 200 m downwave of the pier was as much as 50% lower than observed 400 m downwave, and waves close to the pier were more normally incident than those farther downwave. Alongshore gradients were much smaller 400 m offshore of the shoreline, upwave of the pier, and with nearly normally incident waves, confirming that the gradients are associated with wave propagation under the pier. A spectral refraction model for waves propagating over the measured bathymetry, which includes a depression under the pier, accurately predicts the observations 400 m downwave of the pier, but overpredicts energy near the pier. Refraction model predictions that include partial absorption of wave energy by the pier pilings reproduce the observed alongshore gradients, suggesting that piling-induced dissipation may be important.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D global MHD code driven by L1-measured solar wind parameters was used to advance electron guiding center trajectories in the equatorial plane.
Abstract: Pc 5 ULF waves are seen concurrently with the rise in radiation belt fluxes associated with CME-magnetic cloud events. Four such geomagnetic storm periods in 1997 and 1998, 10-11 January and 14-15 May, 1997; 1-4 May and 26-28 August, 1998, have been simulated with a 3D global MHD code driven by L1-measured solar wind parameters. The field output has been used to advance electron guiding center trajectories in the equatorial plane. The time series has also been analyzed for ULF wave mode structure. Toroidal field line resonances with low azimuthal mode number and frequencies commensurate with the electron drift period are identified in the radial electric field component, along with enhanced power in the poloidal (azimuthal) electric field component. The simulated time scale for inward radial transport of electrons in the several hundred keV to MeV energy range, from geosynchronous orbit to L=3-4, varies with the level of ULF wave power and overall energy input to the magnetosphere. Of the four events studied, the May 1998 storm period was most geoeffective and the January 1997 least so, in terms of simulated radial transport and energization of electrons. This transport rate is consistent with the level of ULF waves excited in the simulations, and the proposed drift resonant acceleration mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the relative angle between the waves and the current can be investigated using circular statistics, showing that local effects can lead to 150-200% increases in wave height when the waves oppose the current.
